"Little Owl" presents an intriguing and textured portrait of a bear, featuring a mysterious and intense gaze that captivates the viewer. Despite the title, the artwork depicts a bear, but the name could hint at a deeper, symbolic meaning or a subtle element within the piece—perhaps suggesting the bear's wisdom or maybe the perked-up ears. This artwork uses a rich palette of dark tones contrasted against a vibrant red background, emphasizing the bear's formidable presence. Ideal for art lovers who appreciate works with a hint of mystery, "Little Owl" is a thought-provoking piece perfect for sparking conversations in any art collection.

This version of "Little Owl" is printed on a 23" x 31" wood back and framed with a one-of-a-kind corrugated aluminum frame.  The frame is adorned with its own artistic touches that elevates the entire piece.
